Sad Day - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

EsoBOFH · 08-24-2012, 12:08 PM

Sad Day... I've received an ultimatum from the wife... her or the car.

It took me three days to decide which one to get rid of.

Ugh... so i'm selling my ride. 3800 km i'll never forget, and hopefully will be able to enjoy again in the future.

I'm so depressed.. can't eat, sleep.. feel like my hearts ripped out. ugh.

Have posted it in the Canada classified if anyone is interested.

seriously?
the car never asked you to pick...

if i had a wife that asked me to chose between her or anything.. i would chose whatever the other option is out of principle

KingGeo · 08-24-2012, 12:17 PM

^ agree

this get said in everyone of these type of threads.
but seems like maybe the wife was the wrong choice...

i dont have an FRS yet and my wife didnt get why i was so into in, until she finally came on a test drive... then she was sold and wants one for herself.

wheelhaus · 08-24-2012, 12:20 PM

Whaaa? What was her reasoning?

I don't want to jump I conclusions, but that's a real fck.

Edit- my wife also knows to never ask me to give up something I'm passionate about, especially as an ultimatum. She understands that's one of the reasons why I love her, that she inst the type of person to pull something like that. She is almost as excited for the BRZ as I am...

FT-86GOD · 08-24-2012, 12:27 PM

yeah why did this happen? whats her beef? have u been picking up to much pu$$y in ur new car?

CBR600RR · 08-24-2012, 12:27 PM

Why did she want you to sell the car?

Spartan65 · 08-24-2012, 12:29 PM

When your wife starts killing things in life that you have passion for it's a sign your not showing enough passion for her, for every time you drive the FRS, give her a little Slap & Tickle mate.

That's fuck up. My wife knows better. That's all I can say. It's sad and depressing to read these type of threads.

If the two of you had a discussion about finances, decided buying a new car was a bad idea and you went ahead and got it anyway...I think your wife would have a right to be pissed.

If she was ok with you getting it, and has done a 180* then I think you have a right to be pissed.

Reserving judgement about wife until we hear the full story.

Also...took you 3 days to decide? Why are you with someone where this type of debate is needed?

atledreier · 08-24-2012, 12:54 PM

My wife asked me on our testdrive if she could get one too.... "Do we REALLY need the minivan, dear?"

As mentioned, I'll reserve judgement until we hear the full story, but initially she sounds like an a@@hole.

I thought getting married to someone you love was supposed to be happy

and that both of you were supposed to keep each other happy

CrazyWookiee · 08-24-2012, 02:16 PM

Yeah, I agree. I need to hear the back story on this one.

I was in a similar situation when I was riding.

She hated the thought of me killing myself in my 600RR. It came to a point when it's her or the bike. I took her for a quick ride to Hope/Harrison and from then on, she would bug me to go out for a ride, even to go to church!

With a bike, I understand because the possibility of killing yourself in a bike is way more than it is for a car.

If it is more of a situation where both of you need a car and you can only afford to get one and she can't drive a stick (as per the CL ad, if it's yours) then yes... she has the right to get pissed. Otherwise, get her a 96 civic for 3 grand be done with it.
